I can totally relate to those Yu-Na photos... I have been above legal age 20 years and I still react like that to wine. Every brand tastes awful, no matter how good it's advertised by my wine connoisseaur friends... I'll stick to my quality beer thank you very much... maybe Yu-Na does that too

SHE IS HOT!!! Smoking hot!!!! Thanks, shallwedansu!
And yes, those skinny pants do look uncomfortable. But they look very lively! I don't usually like guys wear vivid colored pants but this time I really love it! Looks like they are all having a good time. Nice!

They're competitors. And many might think Alissa poses no serious threat to Yu-Na so they could hardly be considered as rivals, but Alissa herself probably doesn't think that.

I just think.... Alissa is not well known to Korean press while Johnny and Stephane are well known. (But, Korean skating fans love her). So, the press people seem to focus on they and YuNa being together.

She is so darn hot! I wish she can perform to more upbeat fun numbers like that.

I also checked out her old gala number two or three seasons ago: I'm just a girl since I remembered it is the only other upbeat number of hers beside "don't stop the music." Wow, this girl has indeed grown into a hot young woman (I'm feeling a strong urge to sing "Sunrise, Sunset" at this moment )

Yuna Kim (Don't Stop the Music)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7dM79c5OME
WOW!!!!!! HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, she's all grown up! Ah~
The camerawork could've been definately better!!! I'd rather see her whole body instead of only upper body or her back.
I really like this number. I wonder if she's gonna keep this one next season.

Virtue & Moir (The Great Gig in the Sky)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mli4zrGJE0
Lovely as always. They look so sweet together. Is it only me who feels some chemistry between them? Maybe they are that good performers I guess.
I prefer that black FD costume though.

Alissa Czisny (Swan)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPFdKxOMgnE
I love how they put that midnight lake background on the screen. It's just perfect!!
She is so~~~ beautiful. So elegant. Best in the business spins. Spirals. But her jumps....

Male Skaters "The Battle with B-boys"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8Pfcp20K0g
Is this a battle to get the beauty?? This cracked me up!! So funny!! That B-boys are awesome!!!! Our men are also so cute!! If only somebody had done a backflip, it would've been perfect. I absolutely love this.

Finalehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXm5YHnEVDo
Czisny headbanging is just so cute!! Did they pick their own color? Johny in yellow and Stephane in red are just... well... lovely. Adam in red looks so~ good. Oh my. I love this finale.

All of them look so happy and I can feel they are having fun. Especially Yuna! If only I could've been there... Sigh...
Overall, what a great show! I liked the use of screen. I loved the combination of skating and b-boying. I loved those singers. I don't really like some of the camerawork.

She is so darn hot! I wish she can perform to more upbeat fun numbers like that.

great number...interesting that she picked Sasha's exhibition music though. She really sold it, unlike that "i'm just a girl" thing which she looked embarassed to do.

Some Live Observations

This is the first time Alissa's performed in Korea, isn't it? I hope many more opportunities come her way as a result of this stint. We know she works very hard, so she deserves it.

Having been at all three nights live, I would say that except for one fall on a flip during her Swan Lake SP, she skated better than any lady last night. Unfortunately, on Saturday evening, she imploded. So I was glad to see that she did so well last night.

IMHO, Adam stole the show all three evenings with Johnny a close second with Poker Face. Last evening Stephane really amped up his performance and I believe that what we saw in the Argentine tango that he skated was the beginnings of a competitive LP
